Hillary Clinton 9/11 Medical Episode: ‘Hillary Health’ Internet Memes

Hillary Clinton left the 15th anniversary memorial for the September 11 terrorist attacks early because of a medical episode. Video showed Clinton being helped to a van as her knees appeared to be buckling under. Clinton went to her daughter Chelsea's nearby apartment to recuperate, and then reappeared a short time later to wave for the news cameras. Clinton's campaign said an hour later that she had felt overheated during the ceremony and was now better. Clinton's health has been a concern ever since she suffered a blood clot and concussion in 2012. Conservative circles have been furthering that narrative for months, with Clinton opening a pickle jar on the Jimmy Kimmel show and disputing that she has health concerns. Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have not released recent, detailed medical reports, and Trump's doctor has also become the subject of Internet mockery. After Clinton left the 9/11 ceremony early, the hashtags #MedicalEpisode and #ClintonCollapse began circulating on Twitter. People quickly started creating "Hillary Health" memes, some in poor taste considering that a medical episode is no laughing matter. Of course, in a political campaign, the health of both presidential candidates is of national concern. Here are some of the memes that circulated on Twitter after earlier was videotaped leaving the 9/11 ceremony early. For his part, Trump also attended the 9/11 ceremony, and he was accompanied by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie at the moment of silence. The moment of silence occurs at the moment that the first plane hit one of the Twin Towers during the national tragedy. Hillary's doctor later said she was diagnosed with pneumonia. (Twitter)
